THE HAPPY DAYS OF THE FUTURE
It is one of the most interesting novels by a great science fiction writer.
In this novel, award-winning author and critic ROBERT SILVERBERG recounts life in CITY UNIT 116, the huge building complex that packs 880,000 people into its thousand floors and where life is compulsively happy. A theocratic central authority encourages unlimited procreation. There are no barriers to amorous desire.
Any man can have any woman (or man) he wants and any woman can accept any man (or woman) into her bed. In the happy world of the future there is no privacy: everything happens in front of everyone. There are no secrets, because there is no ownership. There is no money because nobody needs it. But then why are there people who are not happy?… (From the presentation on the back cover of the book)
